CONFIRMED: Asus Verifies UK Pricing for New Eee PC SKUs
,----[ Quote ]
| ...our source told us that there would be two new SKUs, the Eee PC 900 Win
| and Eee PC 900, with the former featuring Windows XP pre-installed, 1GB RAM
| and a 12GB SSD for just £329 inc. VAT. More intriguing, though, was the
| latter new Linux edition, which we were told would house 20GB of storage and
| retail for the same price as the XP version.

| The Eee shows too just how out of date the 'is Linux ready for the desktop?'
| argument is. Yes it is. Anyone can pick up an Eee with its standard Linux
| distro - or with a number of freely available alternatives - and just use it.
| That alone revitalises the 'is this paid-for operating system value for
| money?' question.

| To sweeten the pill, there is also a considerable price incentive in buying a
| basic portable with GNU/Linux installed as opposed to one with Windows XP,
| which not only costs about 30 per cent more, but also has the nerve to
| require more storage space and memory.
